A licence is required before any person can drive a private hire vehicle. Licences are issued subject to proof of eligibility (age, driving licence, criminal records check, medical assessment, knowledge test etc.).
How to Apply
The Council issues a joint Hackney Carriage/ Private Hire Driver's Licence enabling the holder to drive both types of vehicle.
